If you're interested in joining Alpha Phi Omega at Carnegie Mellon, or even think you might be, you should come to a rush event or meeting to learn more. Rush events are held during the first three weeks of each semester (Fall and Spring). See the calendar for a schedule.

If you are interested in joining at some point when it is not rush, you should come to a meeting and talk to the Pledgemaster -- we welcome people who are not members of the chapter to our meetings and events.

For any questions related to rush or pledging, please email the Spring 2014 Pledgemaster, Rene Francolini at rfrancol@andrew.cmu.edu.

Kappa chapter has been around continuously since 1929 and has a rich history. We've also included some pictures of us, since showing is better than telling for explaining our enjoyment of the fraternity and the friends we've made in it since we pledged.

• History (a narrative about how Kappa Chapter came to be and where we've been since)
• Photo Archive (some photos of us in action from the past few semesters; hopefully we'll eventually be able to include older photos)
• Alumni (we've got a list of recent alumni -- this is not our complete membership list)

International Council of Alpha Phi Omega
The International Council of Alpha Phi Omega was signed into existence on December 28, 1994 at the USA National Convention in Dallas/Ft. Worth, Texas. It is currently composed of the national organizations that exist in the United States of America and the Republic of the Philippines. Simply stated, its goal is to spread the principles of Alpha Phi Omega as exemplified by Frank Reed Horton through college-based chapters around the world. The first nations extension efforts are planned for are Canada and Australia.
